Seen that video where Biden is looking at his watch during the transfer of the 13 service members killed in Kabul?

Well...
He did more than once according to this
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2021/08/31/father-of-killed-marine-says-biden-checked-his-watch-as-each-body-came-out-n2595040

Probably was watching the clock to make sure he got to the ice cream shop before it closed.

I'm sure he was surprised every time. "Oh look, I'm wearing a watch."  A few minutes later, "Oh look, I'm wearing a watch." A few minutes later . . . .

So it seems we had a missle lock on the first suicide bomber but they were told not o fire.

Red State I think was the source of that.

There is truth to that.  A lot of neo-nazis are pro-islamist because they both hate the Jews.

More fall out? What is NATO anyways they ask. Maybe making a EU Reaction Force is better than relying on the US these days. 

Who couldn't see this coming down the pike after the way the Biden administration screwed the pooch on this. If it hadn't been for the many different countries providing aircraft I don't believe nearly as many people would have gotten out to spread the word of Allah around the world through "peaceful protests".

Seeing pretty much zip on this in the MSM

Quote
A satellite image has emerged allegedly supporting the claim Rep. Michael McCaul made on Sunday that the Taliban is holding American citizens and Afghan interpreters hostage at the airport.
Quote
According to McCaul, the planes have been sitting at the airport for days even though the State Department has cleared the flights.

"We had six airplanes at the airport, six airplanes with American citizens on them as I speak, also with these interpreters and the Taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now," McCaul, the ranking member on the Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News.

The State Department has cleared many of the flights to take off from Kabul, but denied landing clearance in Qatar and other locations used during the evacuations.  State is not pursuing diplomatic clearance from those countries because the flights are privately sponsored.  It makes the Hiden/Barrisment administration look bad, that they can't get stranded Americans out of Afghanistan.
American citizens are being sacrificed on the altar of political optics.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Ah... yes. They'll bring the expertise and experience that worked so well in Afghanistan to focus on our economy.

We've already got stagflation indications. I wonder how much worse they can make it.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

    Also @RepMcCaul was absolutely incorrect as characterizing any of these people as hostages. There is nobody being denied exit of the country, or being detained on a plane. Instead the Taliban has not granted clearance for the planes to leave. Spoke to two sources who confirmed.
